Beschreibung
Fairy tales for our times from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The HoursNamed a Best Book of the Year by NPR, Slate, and BustleA poisoned apple and a monkey's paw with the power to change fate; a girl whose extraordinarily long hair causes catastrophe; a man with one human arm and one swan's wing; and a house constructed of gumdrops and gingerbread. In A Wild Swan and Other Tales, the people and the talismans of lands far, far away-the mythic figures of our childhoods and the source of so much of our wonder-are transformed by Michael Cunningham into stories of sublime revelation.Here are the moments that our fairy tales forgot or deliberately concealed: the years after a spell is broken, the rapturous instant of a miracle unexpectedly realized, or the fate of a prince only half cured of a curse. Reimagined by one of the most gifted storytellers of his generation, and exquisitely illustrated by Yuko Shimizu, rarely have our bedtime stories been this dark, this perverse, or this true. von Cunningham, Michael
